Module 1 Activity 2 - information processing

This activity looked at how we learn/how we process information and by going through the self  activity I got to realise that in order to remember certain information we need to associate it, make a connection with something that we know; I could not have remembered the letters but after it was organised into words, it was soo much easier. I can use this when teaching my students, I must always try to relate what I teach with that students already know because we all know students are not empty vessels. I will try to help students decode and store what i teach in their long term memory by making giving them things they can relate to.
